RE: driver for Epson Stylus 300
Apparently the 300 is not compatible to the 600. When I use the stcolor
driver with 720x720 dpi I just get white paper, but lots of that. In
fact the printing doesn't finish before I switch of the printer. When
using 360x360 I get correct output but always using color ink to print
black (hmm, even a colored image is printed that way). After some tips
(600 related) I tried using stcolor.ps but that gives me the white pages
again.
Finally I gave up last night and tried installing the Windows NT driver
just to see some nice output, but it didn't install either. After some
looking around in the docu I found that they do not have one for NT. The
NT driver only works with the 400 and 600 series. Since I have NT on my
machine for work reasons, I could try that. But I refuse to install that
bastard 95 just to print!

Yes, I could try that. Can the 600 use color and black ink at the
same
time?
yes. It has 2 cartridges: one black and another which has 3 bays.
When I print latex documents containing color images the black is
black
and the colors come out just fine.
Also would you mind sending me your gs setup? I'm not sure about
uniprint but the stcolor driver usage in magicfilter is outdated,
i.e.
it uses options no longer avalaible in gs-aladin. Or is that no
problem
with uniprint?
I only skimmed through the docs, but it looks like the author of
uniprint
put a lot of thought into it and has plans for further improvements.
You can customize it without having to recompile.
I use magicfilter and /usr/sbin/stylus_color_360dpi-filter has the
following line in it:
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc600pl.upp -q -dSAFER
-dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit
The @stc600pl.upp specifies the stc600pl.upp config file for the
uniprint driver.
